Chapter 154
You could claim a bounty anywhere except in dungeons.
And inside of a dungeon, you could only access private and party chats, so Shi Sheng peacefully spent time in the dungeon and got used to her character’s abilities. She also trawled the forums for a bit, and she made sure she was familiar with her character before leaving the dungeon.
The moment she exited the dungeon, a couple of people spotted her and immediately launched attacks.
Their levels weren’t as high as Shi Sheng’s and they weren’t in a party, so she finished them off fairly quickly.
Shi Sheng went to an empty map and opened up the Top-Up Interface. The exchange rate between gold (the game’s premium currency) and RMB was 1:1.
The bounties just now added up to a few thousand, so you could see that the male lead was quite generous for the sake of killing her.
Chu Yunxi’s family background was quite good and presumably quite wealthy too, so Shi Sheng boldly bought a load of gold.
She opened up the bounty interface and quickly placed bounties on those people who had put bounties on her.
System Announcement: Player Clearwest has placed a bounty of 1g on Li Suo. Limited to 10 minutes.
……
System Announcement: Player Clearwest has placed a bounty of 1g on Flowertalk Beauty. Limited to 10 minutes.
……
Shi Sheng shut the world chat and continued setting bounties.
‘Oh wow lookie here, the female lead’s popped out.’
Shi Sheng stopped setting bounties and hurriedly contacted Wooden Bellz.
‘It was just something I said at random but you believe it?! Who’s that dumb to give their own co-ords?!’
Flowertalk Beauty and gang reached the place Shi Sheng reported but didn’t find anyone. Right at the moment where they started cursing, a long string of system messages appeared.
System Announcement: Player Clearwest has been killed by Wooden Bellz, who has earned the bounty reward of 1,000g.
……
Loudspeaker messages were different from messages on world chat since they couldn’t be blocked. And they had special effects added to them so even if Shi Sheng wanted to ignore it, it was difficult. ‘You’re acting as if I stole your waifu…’
When Wooden Bellz saw it, she immediately poked Shi Sheng nervously.
‘…Just how blindly worshipful is she?’
Once she had finished dividing up the spoils with Wooden Bellz, Shi Sheng urged her to log off before using her portion of the spoils to purchase a Name Change Card.
This item was a bit expensive; just one cost 2,000 gold. She didn’t have much left of her spoils after purchasing it, so she just dumped the rest into setting up bounties.
Then, she cleared out her friends list and left only Wooden Bellz in.
Shi Sheng then used the Name Change Card. As a result, people discovered that when they looked up “Clearwest”, the result was that this person did not exist!
The thing Snowfall Undermoon enjoyed the most was disgusting Wind-walking The World. The exact nature of the enmity between them was unknown.
As a result, the world chat evolved into a place to curse Profiteer, bringing things off topic again.
In the end, Drunkflower Den decided to buy information from Profiteer.
Profiteer had been doing a quest in the beginner village, so he had witnessed the whole shady deal between Shi Sheng and Wooden Bellz. He also saw what Shi Sheng had changed her username to.
As to what it was?
100 gold, not up for bargain.
The Drunkflower Den guild gritted its teeth as it handed over 100 gold.
Profiteer was actually selling it to them cheap. Since there was a Name Change Card, there was naturally an item being sold that could allow one to check for previous usernames. This item cost 200 gold to buy.
Drunkflower Den knew this, so they didn’t try haggling.
The reason Shi Sheng changed her username wasn’t to avoid them. It was just for the sake of making herself feel better, so she wasn’t afraid of them finding out her current name.
